A proposito di questo titolo

 Welcome, dear listener, to a quiet and kindly library - where the streams run clear, the winds of old England still blow stoutly, and tales are told not for idle fancy alone, but for the strengthening of heart and soul.

Here you shall find stories of brave deeds and honest labour; of men who dared the wide seas, and children who, through trial and strange adventure, learned wisdom in the deep places of the world. You shall walk beside the lowly and the noble alike, and see how truth, courage, and charity may be wrought in the life of any who will heed them.

Come, then, and listen awhile. For there is good to be found in these pages still, if only one has ears to hear.Public domain
